8. Bi-metallic
Quiz Game #650.........by Jack Hepler, USA
Neither Petroglyph nor Bioglyph seems to satisfy the definition of art work using stones to outline a figure. A "mosaic" of sorts may be a better description of what is to be found on a Bi-metallic coin. What may be seen is the design of a hummingbird or colibri. This actual, real-life artwork may be seen as a very large image (over 100 meters long) on the desert of which country? a. Peru b. Australia c. Saudi Arabia d. Mexico See this coin and others at the WBCC website: http://wbcc-online.com Please send your answer to: heplerj@juno.com Answer to Bi-metallic Quiz Game question #649 The Bi-metallic Mexican States 100 Pesos dated from 2003 to 2005 show States Coat of Arms. Which of the following includes the image of a shark? a. Quintana Roo b. San Luis Potosí c. Sinaloa d. Sonora The correct answer for Quiz #640 is d Sonora. Note: Some references describe this as a Tuna, but the image on the coin is definitely not tuna-like. WBCC Quiz Game Prize A Bi-metallic
prize will be awarded for the correct answer. If more than one member
gets the correct answer, a random drawing will be conducted to select a
winner. The #648 Quiz Game winner is Gabor Toth WBCC member
#80. There were 10 players in this game.
Note: Information provided by WBCC member Hans Bucek related to Quiz Question #648; "There is much more symbolism hidden in that flag. The flag itself symbolizes Austria from east to west. The eastern part of Austria, Niederoesterreich or Lower Austria has 5 eagles in its coat of arms; the western part Vorarlberg has the Duke of Montfort's coat of arms. If you turn the coin round, you see at 12 o'clock above the "50" the coat of arms of Vienna, to the left (or west) the one of Vorarlberg and at right (east) the one of Lower Austria - with the 5 eagles. So Heinrich I's flag is a combination of east and west. The 3 ribbons of Heinrich's flag are the 3 tassels of the house of Montfort." 9. New
